🎭 Оn September 12, Russian writer Maxim Gorky’s classic play “The Lower Depths” staged by Indian theatre director Feisal Alkazi was brilliantly performed at the India International Center in New Delhi!

📝 “The Lower Depths” has been variously viewed as one of the groundbreaking realistic and naturalistic works of modern literature, as a visionary and spiritual affirmation and negation of human and social perfectibility.

🟣The play’s character sketches are powerful and moving, and the subject matter is rather provocative. Debate over its chief theme, the merits of the “truth” versus the “consoling lie,” continues to engage audiences and scholars today, as well as to be produced worldwide a century after its inception. Therein lies the great challenge of the play, which the troupe of actors coped with admirably!
